Project description:The genomic positions of nucleosomes are a defining feature of the epigenomic state and hence of cell identity. Signal-dependent transcription factors (SDTFs), upon activation, modify the positioning of nucleosomes and cause epigenome remodeling. Here, we developed Markov models of nucleosome wrapping and unwrapping, and fit them to high resolution deep sequencing data of DNA accessibility to reveal biophysical principles of nucleosome dynamics. We found that 1) the dynamics of DNA unwrapping are significantly slower in vivo than reported from in vitro experimental data, 2) there is clear evidence for cooperativity in wrapping and unwrapping, 3) SDTF activity produced highest eviction probability when its binding site is close to but not on top of the nucleosome dyad, and 4) oscillatory SDTFs produce more variability than constant SDTF activities. Our work uncovers the regulatory rules governing nucleosome dynamics in vivo, which can predict epigenomic alterations during inflammation at single nucleosome resolution.

Project description:Nuclear proteins bind chromatin to execute and regulate genome-templated processes. While structural and biochemical studies of individual nucleosome interactions have suggested that an acidic patch on the nucleosome disk surface may be a common site for recruitment to chromatin, the pervasiveness of acidic patch binding and whether other nucleosome surface binding hot-spots exist remains unclear. Here, we use nucleosome affinity proteomics with a library of nucleosomes that collectively disrupts all exposed histone surfaces to establish the universal principles of nucleosome binding. We find that the acidic patch and two adjacent surfaces are the primary hot-spots for nucleosome disk binding and are critical for the majority of nucleosome-protein interactions. In contrast, nearly half of the nucleosome disk surface participates only minimally in protein binding. In addition to establishing the fundamental principles of chromatin binding, our screen defines nucleosome surface requirements of nearly 300 nucleosome interacting proteins implicated in diverse nuclear processes including transcription, DNA damage repair, cell cycle regulation, and nuclear architecture. Building from our screen, we demonstrate that the Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome directly binds the acidic patch and elucidate a redundant charge-based mechanism of acidic patch binding by nuclear pore protein ELYS. Overall, our interactome screen illuminates a highly competitive nucleosome binding hub for chromatin-targeted activities and curates a list of nucleosome interacting proteins that will enable mechanistic exploration of many unexpected chromatin-templated nuclear processes.

Project description:Nucleosome is the basic structural unit of chromatin, and its dynamics plays critical roles in the regulation of genome functions. However, how the nucleosome structure is regulated by histone variants in vivo is still largely uncharacterized. Here, by employing Micrococcal nuclease (MNase) digestion of crosslinked chromatin followed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and paired-end sequencing (MNase-X-ChIP-seq), we mapped genome-wide unwrapping states of nucleosomes containing histone variant H2A.Z in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. We found that H2A.Z is enriched with unwrapped nucleosomes. Interestingly, the function of +1 H2A.Z nucleosome in transcriptional regulation is correlated with the unwrapping states. We further showed that H2A.Z nucleosomes adjacent the CTCF binding sites (CBS) may adopt an open conformation. We confirmed the unwrapping state of H2A.Z nucleosomes under native condition by re-ChIP of H2A.Z after CTCF CUT&RUN in mouse ES cells. Importantly, we found that depletion of H2A.Z results in increased CTCF binding, indicating dynamic competition between the unwrapped H2A.Z nucleosomal intermediates and CTCF at the CBS. Taken together, our results showed that histone variant H2A.Z regulates transcription and CTCF binding through modulating the nucleosome unwrapping.

Project description:The nucleosome acidic patch is a major interaction hub for chromatin, providing a platform for enzymes to dock and orient for nucleosome-targeted activities. In order to define the molecular basis of acidic patch recognition proteome-wide, we performed an amino acid resolution acidic patch interactome screen. We discovered that the histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) demethylase KDM2A, but not its closely related paralog, KDM2B, requires the acidic patch for nucleosome binding. These KDM2 family JumonjiC (JmjC) domain lysine demethylases are critical to heterochromatin formation and are commonly misregulated in cancer. Despite fundamental roles in transcriptional regulation in health and disease, the molecular mechanisms governing nucleosome substrate specificity of KDM2A/B, or any other JmjC lysine demethylases, remain unclear. We used a covalent JmjC inhibitor to solve cryo-EM structures of KDM2A and KDM2B trapped in action on the nucleosome. Our structures show that KDM2-nucleosome binding is paralog-specific and facilitated by dynamic nucleosomal DNA unwrapping and histone charge shielding that mobilize the H3K36 sequence for demethylation.

Project description:This data was generated by ENCODE. If you have questions about the data, contact the submitting laboratory directly (Anshul Kundaje mailto:akundaje@stanford.edu). If you have questions about the Genome Browser track associated with this data, contact ENCODE (mailto:genome@soe.ucsc.edu). Nucleosomes are part of the first level of chromatin packaging. They each consist of a histone heterooctamer around which DNA wraps 1.6 times. The histone heterooctomamer is made up of two copies of histones 2A, 2B, 3 and 5. The segment of DNA wrapped around the histones, the so-called "core" fragment, is 147 base pairs long. Neighboring nucleosomes are separated from one another by a stretch of DNA called the "linker," whose size varies depending on organism, cell type, and even chromatin activity. Certain chromatin remodeling factors govern accessibility of DNA to regulatory proteins by repositioning nucleosomes to reveal regulatory sites that would otherwise be occluded by a nucleosome. In contrast to histone modifications such as methylation or acetylation, which are investigated by ChIP-seq, nucleosome positioning data are generated without immunoprecipitation (see Methods below). Instead, micrococcal nuclease is used to digest chromatin to apparent completion, the (well-defined and clearly visible) mononucleosomal core fragment fraction is isolated by gel purification, and one end is then sequenced. Mapping the sequence tag back to the genome reveals the precise position of one end of the core fragment that was protected by the nucleosome; the position of the other end can then simply be inferred by extending the read to a virtual length of 147 bases. Statistical analyses such as occupancy and positioning stringency can then be employed to analyze the local nucleosome landscape anywhere in the (mappable) genome or to infer global parameters of nucleosome organization. In the context of the ENCODE project, nucleosome positioning data are particularly valuable for analysis of the relationship between transcription factor binding, histone modifications, and gene activity.

Project description:The organization of nucleosomes influences transcriptional activity by controlling accessibility of DNA binding proteins to the genome. Genome-wide nucleosome binding profiles have identified a canonical nucleosome organization at gene promoters, where arrays of well-positioned nucleosomes emanate from nucleosome-depleted regions. The mechanisms of formation and the function of canonical promoter nucleosome organization remain unclear. Here we analyze the genome-wide location of nucleosomes during zebrafish embryogenesis and show that well-positioned nucleosome arrays appear on thousands of promoters during the activation of the zygotic genome. The formation of canonical promoter nucleosome organization is independent of DNA sequence preference, transcriptional elongation, and robust RNA polymerase II (Pol II) binding. Instead, canonical promoter nucleosome organization correlates with the presence of Histone H3 Lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and affects future transcriptional activation. These findings reveal that genome activation is central to the organization of nucleosome arrays during early embryogenesis.

Project description:The position of nucleosomes influences DNA accessibility to DNA-binding proteins. Genome-wide nucleosome profiles often report the observation of a canonical nucleosome organization at gene promoters where arrays of well-positioned nucleosomes emanate from nucleosome-depleted regions. It is unclear how this canonical promoter nucleosome organization forms and how it is related to transcription activation and the establishment of histone marks during development. Here we report the genome-wide organization of nucleosomes during zebrafish embryogenesis and show that well-positioned nucleosome arrays appear in thousands of promoters during the activation of the zygotic genome. The formation of canonical promoter nucleosome organization cannot be explained by DNA sequence preference, and is independent of transcription and the presence of RNA polymerase II, but strongly correlates with the presence of Histone H3 Lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3). Our study further suggests that promoter nucleosome structure primes genes to future transcription activation. Together, this study reveals that genome activation but not transcription underlies the organization of nucleosome arrays during early embryogenesis.
